There are actually two 9-11's one history wants to casually forget about. Look at these demons surrounded these innocent guys. I wonder what God has in store for the evil people taking sport in murder.
Of course, photography didn't exist in 1801, but never mind. If someone is resentful and has an axe to grind, pointing out the ridiculousness of a meme image isn't really a fair debate tactic. Right? Originally Posted by Ex-CEOAll you have to do is look at the photo...the clothing the people
J. Thomas Shipp and Abraham S. Smith were young African-American men who were murdered in a spectacle lynching by a mob of thousands on August 7, 1930, in Marion, Indiana. They were taken from jail cells, beaten, and hanged from a tree in the county courthouse square. They had been arrested that night as suspects in a robbery, murder and rape case.Here's the kicker, per their cohort who was exonerated by the only living witness -- Shipp and Smith were guilty of robbery, murder and rape:
A third African-American suspect,James Cameron, had also been arrested and narrowly escaped being killed by the mob; an unknown woman and a local sports hero intervened, and he was returned to jail. Cameron later stated that Shipp and Smith had killed Deeter and that he had run away before Deeter was shot. (Wiki)
The date was actually August 7, 1930, and the place was in Marion, Indiana; not the Jim Crow South.Hey don't derail this with the facts...it's the racist narrative!!
